Altair 4X Mining Multigas Detector by MSA

MSA s new ALTAIR 4X Mining Multigas Detector is driven by XCell Sensor Technology with ASIC design.Technology offers durability and performance for mining applications. Methane-optimized catalytic bead sensor provides increased stability over time. Dependable multigas detector tests for LEL, oxygen, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen sulfide.

Features:

• Methane-optimized catalytic bead sensor provides increased stability over time
• Sensor response and clear times in less than15 seconds
• Reduces gas usage for bump testing and calibration
• Greater accuracy and repeatability within changing environmental conditions
• Temperature, humidity and pressure
• Digital sensors offer increased RF (radio frequency) immunity
• Eliminate false alarms from radios
• Accurate CO readings from 0-2000 ppm
• Industry-first CO/NO₂ combination sensor with wide range and fast response times
• Increased methane sensor poison resistance decreases down time and frequency of sensor replacements
• End-of-sensor life warning gives advanced notice of failing sensors
• Sensor life that greatly exceeds industry average

Lasting Durability

• IP67 ingress protection rating
• Dust-tight
• Water-tight while completely submerged in 3 feet of water for 60 minutes
• Withstands extreme impacts with rugged polycarbonate housing
• Passes 20-ft drop test onto concrete
• Rubberized instrument over-molding acts as an additional armor shield
• Available in standard charcoal color or high-visibility glow-in-the-dark
• Patented catalytic bead support wire protects methane sensor from shock

Life-Saving Performance

• 24-hour compliance tick mark display indication
